Samurai Wolf Boyby *SheltieWolf

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

Takeru.

I imaged his costume from Yoroi and Kabuto. Yoroi is a traditional Japanese armor which was used by Samurai. Kabuto is a helmet used with a yoroi.

An golden something on his head is Kuwagata. Kuwagata is a kabuto’s decoration. I guess its shape originates from stag beetles and deer.
A red something on his shoulders are Osode. Osode is a part of a yoroi. It protects a shoulder from the attacks.

By the way ,the symbol behind him is Kamon. Kamon is Japanese family heraldic symbol. Almost all of Japanese have Kamon.

This kamon is “Taka no Ha”. It means “Falcon’s plume”. Two plume cross in the circle. It is one of the popular kamon in Japan. Especially samurais were fond of using this, because they hoped they lived like a brave falcon.

And as this is my family’s kamon, I love this.

wow amazing o__o!

My knowledge isnt that great about my family, yet, but i only thaught that 1 mon was given to 1 Family and not one many familys would use; i remember that ive read about this mon that it was under the command of "Toyetomi Hideyoshi" in the older days (correct me if im wrong)
But kinda makes sense now that ive seen this mon Ceveral other places, and not only in my Family :3

Thank you.

Yes. Almost Japanese have a kamon.
My family's kamon is Taka-no-Ha (hawks' plumes). Taka-no-Ha was the most popular kamon among samurais. I'm proud of Taka-no-Ha.
